SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Quali announced today that it earned a place in the list of 20 Most Promising DevOps Solution Providers 2016 by CIOReview.

"We are proud to announce Quali as one among the 20 Most Promising DevOps Solution Providers 2016," said Jeevan George, Managing Editor of CIOReview. "Quali provides innovators agility and accelerates time to market making business transformations easier. The judges were particularly impressed with Quali's sandboxes and their ability to be configured to look exactly like the final production environment. Developers might create a sandbox to simulate the production environment, from the network and hardware to OS versions, and from the software to cloud APIs. In the world of hybrid clouds, applications need to be deployable on both on-premise infrastructure and public cloud infrastructure. Straddling this hybrid world can create all kinds of challenges. But sandboxes allow developers to mimic both environments to de-risk and accelerate the move to hybrid clouds. We were happy to feature Quali as the cover story on our annual DevOps edition"

Its CloudShell software helps to move toward DevOps by automating development and testing environments. This speeds up product release cycles without sacrificing quality or increasing costs.

This allows enterprise IT and DevOps teams to increase the pace of innovation aligned to business needs.
